I really like the drafts since Garrett was named head coach but I've been less than impressed with his coaching style and results. He went up a notch in my book with the benching of Murray even though they recovered the fumble. That takes me back to the Jimmy Johnson era when players were held accountable. It may seem like a very small thing, but to me, its a step in the right direction towards changing the culture surrounding the team that has held it down and limited the success. I hope he keeps it up and even increases the accountability aspect.

Benching Murray was something I didn't expect. It is unfortunate that some/most positions don't have the depth to do this the way Dallas has at RB. Maybe at WR and TE, but that's about it.

I don't look at it like that at all... They may not mean a lot, but they mean something.

Well, they might speak to a team's depth a little. But let's face it, we're all up in arms talking about whether guys like Selvie or Beasley will make the team when in reality, they likely won't be on the field for more than 10% of playing time. Those guys mean virtually nothing to the success or failure of the team, it's all about the starters playing full games and you simply don't see that in the preseason.

I like Garrett, but lets face it - none of us know what goes on day to day behind the scenes. I do think his RKG is starting to show through, and I like a lot of people was happy to see the benching of Murry to pound the point home of ball retention. I think we are a better team, hopefully this year a better disaplined team (Penelties). I do not expect us to be a Super Bowl team this year, but I do expect to see improvement. I think we are one more draft away from really competing. Hopefully, Romo has enough time left in him for 3-4 dominant years.
It would be heart breaking if we do not improve this year and Jerry ****-cans him and we start this all over again. SO - i'm behind him, go get em Jason !

Took away his playcalling... Fired his brother... Hired a new defensive staff...

Maybe neutered isn't the right word, but it's not that far off.

Yet it was Garrett at the Senior Bowl holed up in a hotel going over the DC candidates not Jerry. Of course Jerry hired him the man who pays me is the man who hired me be it Dallas or any where else. As for firing his bother Garrett seems to have a different take “Johnny had some opportunities to leave here in the last couple of years, and we kept him here,” Jason Garrett said. “We made it worth his while to stay here. And as we’ve restructured this thing, I would never put him in a situation where he would call plays on our staff. He and I had that discussion; we had that discussion in our organization. We felt like the best way for him to grow was not to be here. He’s got a great situation down in Tampa with guys that he knows and respects and he’ll do a great job for them.”

If you want to believe Garrett was the one behind the moves this offseason, suit yourself.

No one fired John Garrett. He wanted to leave. He wants to go back to the college ranks as a Head Coach. He will get that chance I am sure.

Jason hired the Defensive Staff. He's the one who had ties to them from his days in Tampa. Jerry was at the X Games as coaches were being interviewed in Indianapolis. No coach hired has mentioned interviews with Jerry, just gratitude for the chance as they would from any owner.

The play calling is something Garrett has repeatedly said he was going to give up at some point. In fact was saying it long before this off season.

If you want to believe Garrett was the one behind the moves this offseason, suit yourself.

I guess you can also believe in the Tooth Fairy if you so choose.

Frankly I don't know exactly how it went down fact is neither do you. Come on a message board poster who has nothing to do with the organization is going to claim he knows. LOL You guys think why too much about your own opinions.

As far as Garrett running everything? Never said he did but I do think he has a lot of say in what they do. Jerry has never been shy about firing a coach I don't care if Garrett has a contract or not and as far as Garrett future I have said ample times he has to win and win now if he expect to keep this job. As a Cowboys fan I hope he does get the job done, I would much rather have stability at the HC spot than to once again change course and start over but it does not change the fact I expect him to win or be gone.
